Ruslan Hazbulatov

Ruslan Hazbulatov was a notable figure in Russian politics, particularly remembered for his role during the constitutional crisis in Russia in 1993. As the chairman of the Russian Supreme Soviet, he was a key leader of the parliamentary opposition against President Boris Yeltsin, who ordered military action against the parliament building, known as the White House, to quell the uprising. This event marked a significant turning point in post-Soviet Russian politics, leading to the consolidation of executive power.
